The Cornell Chimes is a 21-bell chime in McGraw Tower on the central campus of Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York, United States.
The chime originally had nine bells, donated by Jennie McGraw.[1] They first rang at the University's opening ceremonies on October 7, 1868, and have since marked the hours and been used for chiming concerts.
The tower, long called "the Library Tower", was renamed in 1961.[2] Whether the new name was intended to honor Jennie McGraw or her father, trustee John McGraw, was not specified at the time.[3]
